Retail body calls on FG to honour commercial rents pledge

A retail group has today called for all commercial rents to be reviewed this year.

Retail Excellence Ireland stated that this should be done "irrespective of any upward-only or other review clauses".

The organisation also said that this was a pre-election promise by Fine Gael.

A massive banner has been unveiled today on Dublin's Grafton Street with the wording of the pledge (pictured).
